According to HowStuffWorks.com, a 100 feet tape measure is useful for determining property boundaries and other exterior measurements. In other words, when you are surveying or appraising a particular property, this kind of tape measure is considered ideal to suit the object length you are going to measure. It’s not too long or too short. … Read more
No matter whether you’re a carpenter, plumber or a DIY enthusiast; an inclinometer is a tool you should have in your arsenal. It’s an instrument that measures angles, and it can be used for various tasks, from checking the shelf’s level to set the angle on a miter saw. Here we will not only provide … Read more
A digital caliper or electronic caliper is a quick tool to measure length, diameter, depth, and steps. Commonly, the range it can measure is 6″. Not only speed but also its accuracy and precision, make it a must tool for many purposes. The typical resolution and accuracy of a digital caliper are .0005″ and ±.001″ … Read more
An oscilloscope provides you with more information than the standard multimeter (both analog and digital) by graphically showing you the waveform of voltage that can then be analyzed for some properties such as frequency, amplitude, rise time, time interval, distortion, pulse width, and others. Based on the display, there are two types of oscilloscopes available. … Read more
Clamp meters are essential measuring instruments to add to your toolbox if working in HVAC. They come in handy when measuring currents and voltages anywhere in the system. However, you cannot just buy any clamp meter you find in the market because such products have varying capabilities. The modern-day clamp meters do more than just … Read more
LRC meters are multi-functional measuring instruments for electrical engineers and technicians. As the name suggests, these instruments can measure inductance (L), capacitance (c), and resistance (R). Clearly, their names originate from what these devices can do. The ability of the LCR meter to measure multiple parameters makes them the best choice. Instead of buying different … Read more
A tape measure, or a measuring tape as other people call it, is essential if you want to measure lengths ranging from 0 to 100 feet. Commonly, tape measures refer to the 25 feet tape measures, mostly available on the market. And they come with differentiation each other such as the blade length, reading, features, … Read more

An hourglass functions similarly to a timer. It’s a tool to give you a certain interval time. However, unlike a digital timer that you are probably able to change the time interval, the time interval of hourglasses is fixed. In addition, although it’s said 10 minutes, for example, you should never expect it as accurate … Read more
A multimeter is an electrical quantity-measuring device with multiple functions. This device combines voltage, current, and resistance measurements in one compact unit. But, it’s not weird to find them able to measure capacitance, inductance, temperature, humidity, and acidity. Multimeter is not necessarily expensive, there are lots of cheap multimeters out there that you can buy. … Read more
